GDH — Asparagus officinalis

Summary

A4U43_C01F3100 (GDH, AoDHE4) on asparagus chromosome 1 encodes a glutamate dehydrogenase with NAD+ and NADP+ activity (EC 1.4.1.4). The product localises to mitochondria and cytosol and is associated with glutamate breakdown, amino acid metabolic processes, and responses to nitrogen compounds, nitrogen starvation, basic pH, cold, and salinity. This gene has been connected to photosynthetic rate and respiration rate. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to root and leaf nitrogen content, nitrate content, soluble protein and amino acid content, plant and shoot dry weight, root length and number, plant height, stem diameter, fruit weight, chlorophyll and carotenoid content, net photosynthetic rate, quantum yield, water use efficiency, starch and fructose content, proline and hydrogen peroxide content, cadmium concentration, and reproductive growth time.
